Making everyone happy is impossible. Pissing them off is a piece of cake. I like cake.

Pay up, Tom

Your humble Devil has lots of things to write about but, first up, causing trouble.

As you know, we at The Kitchen are not, to put it mildly, huge fans of David Cameron. However, your huhmble Devil is—like the Spectator restaurant critic character, Fforbes McAllister, on Alan Partridge—almost entirely motivated by hate (I hope I don't get shot on a chat show).

A year ago today you made a £100 public wager that David Cameron would not be posting videos on YouTube in 12 months time. That was the last time you posted a video to YouTube and David Cameron's videos have continued.

In July this year, David Cameron and WebCameron won a New Statesman New Media Award after they were impressed with his "continued engagement with the project, the genuine use of it by the public and how the site had encouraged others in politics into using similar online communication and engagement methods".

So now it's time to pay up and this is the deal. You pay the £100 to the cerebral palsy charity Scope and Guido and I will match that figure together. We look forward to hearing from you soon, you know how to contact us.

Warmest regards

And just in case any of you should doubt these assertions, here is WebCameron's YouTube channel. We would show you Tom's channel but he doesn't seem to have one. Shame.

Still, Here's a lovely YouTube video to reinforce the message.

Your humble Devil would like to add his own proviso: pay up, Tom, and do not write the £100 off on expenses and charge it to the taxpayer, you fat fucking slug; pay it out of your own pocket.

Tom has been in touch this afternoon and said "fair doos" and sent me the receipt that showed he had just paid £100 to the Acorn's Children's Hospice Trust in the Midlands. So whilst it's not Scope he has paid the money to charity.
